I just received this book in the mail (finally!) and I can't wait to start reading. I may report back here as I go, or maybe when I've read the whole book. It depends. But I am looking forward to this because I don't think this subject is covered very thoroughly by our historians up to now. They always rather skip over the part about the "Indians" because they don't consider it important, I guess. The indian tribes were here centuries before anyone else - - why the hell wouldn't that be important?? Certainly seems as though it is germaine to the telling of the history of the USA, doncha think?
I do. So I'm going to read about it. I hope this is a good following of what happened, because I know enough about history to know when I'm being bluffed - especially about this subject.
Everyone should be interested in this kind of learning, but few are, I find. How sad. We'll read about (or watch tv shows) about negro roots (Roots, for instance, or Amistad) but white's don't care to know their OWN history. Yeah, sad.
